Goals This introductory will focus on the fundamental principles of the various vacuum pumping concepts available for particle accelerators. Students will learn a variety of vacuum materials, methods of fabrication, and preparation and handling techniques. A session on 1D and 3D-simulations of complex high- and ultrahigh-vacuum systems will be given. The course will also cover many design considerations and requirements that are unique to the accelerator vacuum systems. On completion of this course, the students are expected to understand the basic workings of all common types of high-vacuum and ultra-high vacuum pumps. Furthermore, they will understand the various mechanisms of gas sources in accelerators and will be able to calculate gas loads and design vacuum systems to meet accelerator requirements.
Course Content Vacuum Fundamentals, Sources of Gases, Vacuum Instruments, Vacuum Pumps, Mechanical Pumps, Ion Pumps, Getters, Cryo-pumps, Vacuum Components and Fabrication, Vacuum Materials, Vacuum Joints, Vacuum Components, Fabrication and Cleaning, Vacuum System Engineering, Vacuum System Integrations, Some Special Accelerator Vacuum Considerations
Learning Outcomes 1) Learns the basic concept of vacuum
